Autonomous Security
& Perimeter Surveillance
Autonomous security and surveillance uses ground robots and aerial drones — such as Ghost Robotics Vision 60 and the Asylon DroneDog & Guardian system — to patrol perimeters 24/7, detect and document threats, and cover ground that fixed cameras and foot patrols miss. Actel Robotics deploys and helps monitor it across Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Theft, vandalism, trespassing, and unauthorized access cost businesses billions every year. Our robotic systems patrol continuously, react instantly, and document everything — 24/7.
Static Cameras Leave Predictable Gaps
Fixed cameras cover fixed angles; autonomous ground and aerial robots deliver consistent, documented patrol coverage across large sites, around the clock.
Traditional security approaches — fixed cameras, guard patrols, motion lighting — are reactive, expensive, and full of blind spots. Actel Robotics deploys autonomous security systems that patrol continuously, react instantly, and document everything.
Our robotic security solutions are built for the environments where the stakes are highest: active construction sites, industrial facilities, energy infrastructure, and large commercial properties. We deploy Ghost Robotics and Asylon platforms — the same systems trusted for military and government security applications.
Ghost Robotics Vision 60 — autonomous perimeter security
Purpose-Built Security for Every Environment
We deploy the right platform for your specific security environment — from a single-building perimeter to a multi-acre construction site.
Construction Site Security
Construction sites are high-value, low-security targets. Equipment theft, material loss, and unauthorized access are constant threats — especially overnight and on weekends. Our autonomous patrol systems cover large perimeters, detect intrusions in real time, and provide documented evidence for insurance claims and law enforcement.
Facility Perimeter Security
For industrial facilities, warehouses, data centers, and commercial properties, our ground-based robots provide a mobile, responsive security layer that static cameras cannot replicate. A Ghost Robotics Vision 60 on patrol is both a detection system and a visible deterrent.
Aerial Perimeter Surveillance (Asylon)
For large properties, remote facilities, or situations where rapid aerial survey is required, Asylon's drone-in-a-box systems provide automated takeoff, flight, and landing — no pilot required. Deploy a persistent aerial eye over your most vulnerable assets.
Security Patrol as a New Mission Type
In addition to monitoring critical equipment and facility compliance, Spot introduces security patrol as a new mission type. These missions offer visibility to customers seeking eyes on their operation during off-hours, or more security coverage in sensitive areas.
If Spot detects a person during these patrol missions, the robot will pause, activate AV lights, capture PTZ, panoramic, and thermal images, trigger an alert, and resume its mission path.
Security That Pays for Itself
Autonomous patrol offsets rising guard-labor costs while adding documented, repeatable coverage that manual rounds can't guarantee.
One equipment theft, one major incident, or one successful unauthorized entry can cost significantly more than an entire robotic security deployment.
Equipment Theft Prevention
Construction equipment theft costs the U.S. industry over $400M annually. Robotic patrol with documented deterrence fundamentally changes the risk calculation for would-be thieves.
Reduced Guard Hours
Replace routine perimeter patrol shifts with autonomous robots — reducing labor costs while increasing coverage frequency and documentation consistency.
Documented Deterrence
Every patrol mission is logged. Every incident is captured. Automated documentation reduces claim disputes and can lower insurance premiums for covered facilities.

Autonomous Security & Surveillance — Frequently Asked Questions
What is autonomous security and surveillance?
It is the use of ground robots and aerial drones to patrol a facility 24/7, detect and document threats, and respond to alarms — covering perimeter ground that fixed cameras and foot patrols cannot reach, with continuous human oversight from a monitoring center.
How is it different from cameras or human guards?
Fixed cameras only see where they point and guards cannot be everywhere at once. Autonomous robots move to investigate, patrol all-terrain ground continuously, and document every pass — extending coverage without adding headcount rather than simply replacing it.
Which platforms does Actel deploy for security?
Ghost Robotics Vision 60 (an IP67 all-terrain ground UGV) and the Asylon DroneDog & Guardian system (integrated ground and aerial patrol with a 24/7 Robotic Security Operations Center). Compare them on our compare robots page.
Do security robots work outdoors in all weather?
Yes. These platforms are built for all-terrain outdoor operation — rain, mud, ice, heat, and darkness — making them well suited to Gulf Coast industrial sites, tank farms, and long perimeters.
Does this replace security guards?
It augments a security program rather than replacing people. Robots handle the repetitive, hazardous, all-weather patrol work and document it, freeing officers for judgment, response, and escalation — and giving smaller teams coverage they could not staff manually.
